Happy 80th Birthday, Andy Warhol!
Andy Warhol would be turning 80 years old today. There is perhaps no artist more discussed. We all think we know everything about him… the Factory, the “15 minutes of fame” theory, his iconic white drag, the Velvet Underground & Nico… This is why Warhol on Warhol, last winter’s exhibition at La Casa Encendida in Madrid, was so necessary. The exhibition focused on the unseen work of the legendary pop artist and included some 200 pieces—Polaroids, drawings, photographs, and other artworks that had never been shown before. Work by artists such as Richard Avedon and Jonas Mekas completed the in-depth portrait of the Warhol persona.
While Warhol on Warhol closed in January and is not traveling, don’t despair! Our silver exhibition catalog brings together 200 of these lost works in a 385-page hardcover edition.
